“Dek, brother is hungry. You... how?”
“Emm.. Yes Bang, same. I also feel hungry, especially after I get a patient who really has to be extra patient when dealing with it, making me very hungry now.”
“Where are you going? To the canteen or.”.
“In canteen only, can save also later, Bang.”
Hix...
Arjuna felt his chest seeing Ahtar his younger brother acting unnaturally. Handsome face, body is ok, the job is well established and the salary is also large, but still want to save.
‘Arjuna... Why do you have a sister like this? Too frugal on money and also feelings for women. But do not let Ahtar become an old virgin.’
Arriving at the canteen Arjuna and Ahtar ordered each other food to serve as their lunch. And surely you know, the food in the hospital canteen is quite simple.
While waiting for their order to arrive for a moment a small talk accompanied them. There is no other language than Khadijah.
“Bang, when will we send secrets about Mother and Hafizha? Honestly..I feel very sorry for Hafizha, I never imagined how she would feel if she knew the truth.”
“Iya, Dek. You were right, considering Hafizha who never got the affection of a mother. Getting but only for a moment, even then his age has not even three months.”
Hafizha's childhood was so inherent in the memory of Arjuna and Ahtar, at the age that Hafizha had just been born was already abandoned by Khadijah. And when at the age of not even three months Hafizha must be abandoned by Aisha. Since then Yulian brought Hafizha to live in the city of Edinburgh until the age of Hafizha almost fifteen years.
”Entaih! Bang. For sure we should help Abi keep it until Abi himself will tell Hafizha. Better we just eat. I'm already feeling hungry. Hehehe..” Ahtar rubbed his stomach which had sounded.
The meal they ordered had arrived, not forgetting both of them raised their hands to read the prayer before eating first. After that, only they ate rice sesap for a mouthful until the rice was finished not left.
“Alhamdulillah,” said Ahtar after the food on his plate is up.
And two minutes later changed Arjuna, although the food they ate was the same but Arjuna ate it longer. Not that Ahtar was also too hasty when eating, but that was how the two ate. The important thing is that they practice the teachings of Islam, do not overeat, do not eat less and will eat enough until it is not left.
“Dek, there is still a little time left before returning to work. Would you like it if we chat for a while?” bring Arjuna.
“Bby. What is bang Juna, hmm?”
“It's about.. soul mate. You... want to until when singles continue? Remember the age is old,” peekik Arjuna.
“Bang, I also do not know when I want to be this single. Actually, I also do not want this, but maybe Allah SWT has not met me with my soul mate. Means I should.. be patient.” It's always Ahtar's answer.
Arjuna knew very well that his sister had many women approaching Ahtar. But yes most women are always heartbroken at the end, because it is always rejected by Ahtar.
Humaira who was so sholeh Ahtar refused, there was no sense whatsoever when meeting or with Humaira. And love will not be easily forced, for love will come from within the heart by itself uninvited.
“Yes already, let's work again. Brother is upset to talk to you the answer is the same. Time yes as many women who are close to you no one nyantol.” Arjuna snorted angrily at Ahtar who had always rejected women.
The two left the canteen and returned to their respective rooms.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
It is time to pray ashar, Yulian is also ready with sarong, peci, cocoa clothes and also her prayer mat. Since Khadijah was still affected by drugs to calm Khadijah's soul, now Yulian decided to leave Khadija and perform ashar prayers.
Yulian spread out his prayer rug and then he read the intention of the ashar prayer and then said the takbir.
“Yes Allah O our Lord. But I also feel powerless if only my wife should hear paralysis at her feet.”
After waving a prayer, Yulian read the mushaf for a moment to fill his free time and calm his worried heart. Even the worms in his stomach were ignored, since morning Yulian had not eaten anything. But Yulian persisted with his hunger.
‘Yes Allah. Servant...the woman You are testing her feet, I can no longer walk as usual.”
“Yes Allah, is it still appropriate that the servant be the wife of Yulian? Such a good man would have his heart, always keeping the purity of his heart from any woman who is not his master.”
Tests...
Without Yulian knowing Khadijah was aware and was looking at him so sharply, which made Khadija feel inappropriate if he remained with Yulian who was very perfect for him.
“Yes Allah, Khadijah,” strangles Yulian.
Yulian heard sobs centered from the position Khadija laid on her body. Immediately Yulian stopped his reading and turned to Khadijah to make sure his hearing was not in trouble.
“Neng, why is Neng crying?” ask Yulian as gently as possible.
Silent...
Khadijah only cried and did not even answer Yulian's question. Even Khadija also felt reluctant to just see the face of Yulian, since Khadijah had turned his face away from Yulian.
“Neng, answer Hubby's question. Neng why cry, hmm?”
“Neng eat only then, from earlier have not eaten loh!” pinta Yulian as gently as possible.
Khadijha did not give an answer to Yulian. But with a gentle attitude Yulian tried to keep serving the needs of Khadijah, from feeding and so forth.
“Neng can eat alone, no need also be fed.” Sounds so cold, cold as ice.
“It's okay, Hubby also wants to feed Neng. It's Hubby's obligation as a husband to take care of his wife.” Yulian took a spoonful of rice and pointed it at Khadijah's lips.
Silent...
It had been five minutes that Yulian thrust his spoon in front of Khadijah's lips, but during that time Khadijah did not want to open his mouth to eat a mouthful of rice.
“Eat ya Neng, just a little!” wu Yulian gently.
“No.”
“Come on Neng, just a little.”
Yulian asked Khadijah to open his mouth, but something happened right then and there.
“Prakkkcahh.”
Khadijah brushed aside Yulian's hand, and even the plate in Yulian's grasp fell and broke on the floor, and the food was scattered everywhere.
“Khadija, what do you mean to dismiss it like that?” ask Yulian.
“Don't mind Neng anymore, Hubby. Neng is paralyzed. Neng could not. hiks... Neng couldn't be a perfect wife for Hubby.”
Seriate...
